Testament to their timeless comedy genius , is the fact people , some 100years later still find them hilariously funny ..... young or the old .....without doubt, the finest comedy duo there's ever been......
I totally `grasped the situation` that this scene is absolute perfection. Two comedy geniuses who totally eclipse anybody from the modern age. Timing, grace, humility, and a wonderful sense of innocence permeate through this sketch from start to finish.
This is probably my favourite of all their shorts.From start to finish it's a comedy masterpiece.If you watched it every day for a year you'd still crack up
It's so hard to improve on perfection. Words are inadequate to say how utterly brilliant this short is. They will live on as the best of the best. I bless the day they met😂😂❤️♥️
"My half was on the bottom!" - Classic. This is without doubt one of the funniest scenes in the history of film. So beautifully understated. Much better than any of the crap that passes for comedy these days. Stan and Ollie were worth 10 billion Seth MacFarlanes.
animfan98 Laurel and Hardy were true greats. Genius. The best ever. However, little unfair on Seth. Seth MacFarlane is very good. Not fair to put him down because he’s not a genius.
Also, Seth MacFarlane is a very crass and cruel person, whereas Laurel and Hardy didn't have to resort to using sexually explicit material to get laughs AND they were universally regarded as nothing but kind, sweet, loving people.
If I were Laurel, I would have taken lead before Hardy and say "Soda, soda, soda (pointing to myself) and what would you have Ollie? I think you wouldn't have anything. OK, we will proceed."
But that would ring a bit false because Stan would (at the drop of a hat) be out of character. Comedy only really works by remaining true to character. Had the barman interjected on this final attempt to order, BEFORE Ollie could point to himself in relation to ordering the third soda, by his asking Stan "And I take it you want a soda", to which Stan quickly replies, "Yes, please!", then your envisaged situation of Ollie having to be the fall guy could believably have been carried off. It's probable they went through all the permutations of possible scripts, but let's not quibble too much. My only quibble with this scene is that the camera does not pan back a little (or quickly jump to) to include something of the young ladies' reactions. But this was made in 1929! Sound on film was still new then. Film-making was still new.

So very true
Perfectly put
Well put they will never be bettered
Never in my lifetime or my grandchildrens. Stan & ollie, simply the greatest.
A perfect description.
1:34 Geez! Finlayson's wonderful eye squint! One of the great most memorable facial quirks in the history of comedy!
“Well, you keep asking me!” 😂😂😂 these two are the #1 comedians of all time!!
My half was at the bottom. Lol 🤣🤣😂😂🇬🇧🇺🇸 loved them they were the best comedy duo in history and they'll never be another like them. ❤❤❤😁😊
Absolutely. Stan & Ollie are, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the greatest comedy team of all time. 🎬📽️🎞️🎥🎦 🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭 😁😁😁😁😁
The future can b full of surprises, mayb in a 100 or 200 years from now, a new partnership could appear
Years later Abbott and Costello copied the idea behind this scene. I think, for them, it was a sandwich.
This is probably my favourite of all their shorts.From start to finish it's a comedy masterpiece.If you watched it every day for a year you'd still crack up
Brats and Laughing Gravy absolutely kill me too.
One of the greatest sketches of comedy ever. Its magic. God bless you both
The 15¢ routine is one of Laurel & Hardy's more famous routines. 🎥🎭😁
Pulls the hair from Ollies chest and twiddles them onto the floor 🤣🤣..!!
That was one Stan's in other movies pulled Oillie's chest hair
James Finlayson was in a class all to himself, comic genius
Recommended viewing: "Stan and Ollie," the new film about the best comedy duo in history.
It's so hard to improve on perfection. Words are inadequate to say how utterly brilliant this short is. They will live on as the best of the best. I bless the day they met😂😂❤️♥️
They certainly are! So are Stan's expressions and gestures! 😀
Stan was so cute the way he acted! And Ollie always used much more patience with him!
Babe breaking the 4th wall at 4.50, first comic to do that. The best there ever was, best there ever will be...
Next time I share the last can of beer , justifiably correct
priceless and timeless magic from the masters!
The ideas they come up with!! They were genius!!
They are just so far ahead of any other comedy duo that ever lived or ever will.
Jimmy Finlayson (the bartender) was also hilarious ! LOL
Good morning to you, good morning to you
Good morning, bartender, good morning to you
The person behind the counter of a ice cream parlor is called a "soda jerk," not "bartender."
Lowell Thomas, Jr. yes he was with that look
He played the guy who calls up Spanky in the little Rascals. "Hello, who is this?" "I don't know, I can't see ya"
He appeared in many laurel and hardy films
Finlayson saying “Dohhhh!” Is actually the inspiration for Homer Simpson saying “Doh!”.
"Alright, I'll have a banana split!" 😂😆
*points at self*
"My half was on the bottem" 😂😂 genius!
In That case, Stan should've used a straw
Absolute brilliance. Stan and Ollie were THE BEST......
Absolutely! 😁😁😁😁😁
Imagine taking your date to a soda fountain today? Of course we don't have any now.
Stan looks so cute in his sailor suit 😍😭😭😭
I couldn't help it;my half was on the bottom! The best joke ever!
My half was on the bottom. Kill me now. This clip is a reference point for me in comedic genius.
Probably the best comedy line ever !
Back in the days that 15 cents could buy 3 drinks.
This is my most favorite scene from any laurel hardy movie.
BROOKLYN NEW YORK, The True Original Kings Of Comedy
131 utter miseries! How COULD ANYONE not love this.
Five cents per soda - good price!
Crazy thing is I have 20 cents in my pocket right now, I would lend them the dime😂.
"My half was on the bottom!" - Classic. This is without doubt one of the funniest scenes in the history of film. So beautifully understated. Much better than any of the crap that passes for comedy these days. Stan and Ollie were worth 10 billion Seth MacFarlanes.
+animfan98 Only 10 Billion......
👍👍👍👍👍 😁😁😁😁😁

@@vantheman1234 just putting appropriate context.
these will be remebered in a thousand years.😅
Also, Seth MacFarlane is a very crass and cruel person, whereas Laurel and Hardy didn't have to resort to using sexually explicit material to get laughs AND they were universally regarded as nothing but kind, sweet, loving people.
The word Classic is banded around far to often on modern shite, this is a True Classic
Absolutely. 😁
This is BRILLIANT
Absolutely class
I just love the way Oliie tips his hat forward at 1.50 .....Genius!
These great gentlemen been so fantastic. We love them.
They are funny, without offending anyone. Something that has largely been forgotten, in the art of cinema.
Hyacinth Bucket springs to mind.
3 absolute giants of comedy.
I'm just putting it on for the GOILS!
Finlayson as always the fly on the ointment , so funny the whole thing
How could anyone put thumbs down to these comedy geniuses!
Finlaysons looks are priceless!
Master of the slow burn and double take
@@Sshooter444 And at least partially the inspiration behind Homer Simpson’s catchphrase.
Wonderful comedy from masters of comedy brilliant.
Stan Laurel's 15 cents would be equivalent of two dollars and twenty seven cents today's standards...
49 people don't like frasassas 😂
blind deaf and dumb with sense of humour bypass
What, no military discount?
The Real Masters of their Profession
They’re so cute and funny. “The goyles” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brilliant!! Nothing further to say.
And we’ve only got fif-teen-cents!
Every time I go out with friends I always ask "Soda, soda, soda. And what will YOU have, Stanley?"
Soda
Can I have a banana split?
Soda
Frassasaaas👍
Best ad for root beer ever. I went out bought 6 pack of it next day and drank my half which was at the bottom
😆😆😆😆😆
😀😀🤣😁😁😁😂😅😅laurel.and hardy style sir.
15 cents for 3 sodas...today in 2022 that would be $15 with the cost of living.
Best Comedy Team Alltime, hands down.
Just found this clip, I used to watch them as a kid...now I'm 30 and this scene still cracks me up!!
They invented Curly, Larry, and Moe. Hilarious also, how to impress the goils, order Sasafrass soda in a sissy kind of way.
The blonde girl in this skit died as a result of childbirth problems in her early twenties. Such a sad loss.
Yes,Gloria Greer died 2 years after making this movie, at the age of 23. Very sad.
@@mrsbrownandhercat How sad! 😢
"My half was on the bottom" I love Stans whiny face :-D
comedy at its best by the pros of comedy
Exactly! 😁 👍
Stan was the only one who had money so he was entitled to drink both halfs, lol. The way Oliver says Sassafras cracks me up every time 🤣🤣🤣
These two make me laugh they were a great team.😊💙✌
Has anyone got a clip of the ice cream parlour “what other flavours have you not got” is another classic
karl smith That would be the film Come Clean(1931).
We don't have chocolate! What flavor is this? CHOCOLATE!
I love the way Stan doesn't take any shit.
I did this to my dad and sent me this
James Finlayson, Laurel and Hardys' Sidney Fields! Sid Fields, Abbott and Costello's James Finlayson.
Soda, soda, soda...banana split.
Did Stan just pull out one of Oliver’s chest hairs? 😂🤣
Yes he did! 😁
YOU REFUSE!!! 😂
YOU MUST REFUSE!!
My dad watches this sort of thing with me and I love it
This is were douh is coming not from the Simpson
Oliver Hardy. Soda soda soda, and what will you have Stan.
Stan Laurel. Soda!!.
I'll never get bored watching Laurel & Hardy, this will still be funny a 100 years from now when we're all dead
Perfection, absolute perfection.
Oh, hardly ever. But I do and that's what counts!
" I have an idea.When I ask you to have a drink. You refuse!"
Oh great.Thanks very much!
those galls have a lot of patience
hahaha these days 2000, no more.
I think it’s pronounced ‘goyles’ 😂
I'm going to have to remember that!
One of the more famous Laurel & Hardy routines. 😁
That last bit was genius! xD
"but I dont like frassasass"
I just love these two legends 🤣🤣
One of the finest funniest scenes. Perfect delivery hugely entertaining. Must of had some laughs recording this.
never beat it
I have a striking picure of the bar scene hanging in my house 😅👍
Was it funnier when the sodas turned out to be 10c?
Abbott & Costello used this skit years later with a turkey sandwich and a cup of coffee, both in their film and on TV.
I'm 17 and enjoy this a lot lol
never be bettered son.😀
James Finlayson Doh
I liked olli's way when he shaking his hand to say just moment hhh I used to just tha same hhhh that priceless
Only L&H fans would know that joke very well. 😃
You must refuse!!

Bananasplit! Priceless!!

stan laurel one word : cute.
Cute with class,nothing or nobody has come close.

Truly great duo
He was suppose to say Water,that's free.
